Dear Guitar World,

The guitar I chose for the contest is called the Gibson J-250 Monarch Acoustic Guitar. I also have alternative guitars that I would get too, in case i'm unable to get the one I originaly wanted. My guitar also has a lot of different features to it too. I also have accessories picked for my guitar.

The guitar I picked isn't the only guitar I looked at, I have alternatives so that if i'm not able to get the one that I picked I can still get another guitar that I liked.
One of the alternative guitars I picked was the Gibson Custom Paul Kossoff 1959 Les Paul Aged Electric Guitar. I picked this one because i like the way that it looks. Also because its tributed to a famous guitarist. Another alternative I picked is Gretsch Guitars Custom Shop George Harrison Tribute Duo Jet Electric Guitar. I picked this guitar as an alternative because I like the design of it. It was also tributed to a famous guitarist.

One of the main reasons I picked the Gibson J-250 Monarch Acoustic Guitar is because of how it's made, and what it made with. It has hand crafted monarch detailing, and a bound ebony finger board. It also has a moustache bridge and color floral-pattern engraved pickguard. But my favorite feature on it are the gold engraved tuners and genuin diamond gem "I" Gibson logo setting.

Other accessory items i would like with my guitar are the single guitar stand with folding yoke, i would also like the guitar cleaning kit as one of the accessories for it to come with so that i can keep it clean so it always looks good a new.

Overall i think that the Gibson J-250 Monarch Acoustic Guitar was my favorite guitar out of the ones i looked at. I did have alternative guitars picked but i still perfer the Gibson J-250 because of its features and the way it looks. I can't wait for this guitar.
